Let’s Imbibe and Write Postcards to—Air Quotes—the President

Combining alcohol with emotions is generally not a great tack. Combining hot toddies, mulled wine and a beer
garden with your emotions about Trump, and throwing in some prestamped postcards on which to express those
feelings—that’s sound Wednesday night policy.

THE LEATHER

Where Handsome Satchels Roam Nearly Free

Rougly nine out of 10 people who know you and want you to have incredibly handsome new travel bags agree:
they should be Ghurkas. As luck would have it, you can pick one up for up to 75% off in Chelsea this
weekend. At last, an excuse to plan your travel entirely based around the resplendence of your luggage.

THE LUSHEST OF OPENINGS

A Plant-Filled Beauty From the Kiki’s Team

The folks responsible for Kiki’s, everyone’s low-key favorite dinner spot on the LES, have struck again.
This strike is Monroe, a jungle-like space for Spanish, Italian and French forms of Mediterranean. As
you’d hope, seafood paella, cacio e pepe and escargot are part of the deal.

Now open, Monroe, 49 Monroe St (between Pike and Market)

THE OPENING

Say What’s Up to the New Carhartt WIP Flagship

Carhartt WIP is larger now. Which, in this case, means more space for neon, steel, artist-collab graphic
tees and a near perfection of the workwear/streetwear hybrid form. Look for the denim coaches
jacket if you’re trying to stay ahead of things this season.

THE POP-UP

Such Hot Chicken

Not enough hot chicken in New York. Uncool. For one wonderful night, though, the Vic’s and Cookshop teams
are using everything they learned on a recent Nashville trip to bring a three-spice-level menu of the stuff
next door to Vic’s. “Crazy crazy hot” is one of the options. Getting sides of pimento mac-and-cheese
and banana/Nilla wafer pudding is less optional.
